ESCARGOT, IN THE SHELL WITH HERB BUTTER

Provided by Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound escargot, in shell
1 stick butter, room temperature
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Serving suggestions: toasted piece of baguette or fresh tomato-basil sauce

Steps:

  • Rinse the escargot under warm water, pat shells dry with a paper towel, then set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, shallots, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice. Mix all ingredients well with a small spoon. Lightly season butter with salt and pepper, until desired taste is achieved.
  • When butter is at desired flavor, begin to scoop a small amount of herb butter in each shell of escargot. If there is extra butter left over after each shell has been filled, go back and continue the process, adding extra butter, until all the butter has been used.
  • Put the stuffed shells into the fridge and allow to sit for about 20 minutes, giving the butter enough time to solidify in shells. While the shells are in the fridge, set the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • When the butter is solid in the shells, remove from fridge and transfer shells into an oven-safe pan. If possible, avoid placing shells on a sheet tray, as we want the snails to cook in the butter as much as possible. Cook snails for 15 minutes, max.
  • Serve snails, in shells, on top of toasted pieces of baguette, or in a fresh tomato-based sauce.

ESCARGOTS IN HERBED CREAM

These little aphrodisiacs are drowning in a perfectly herbed cream sauce tucked inside a pastry bowl. Romantic and attractive - perfect for Valentine's Day or a romantic evening. The snails can also be simply served with a warm baguette instead of in the puff pastry shells. The best snails for this dish are the vineyard snail (Helix Pomatia) or the "White Snail" (Helix Lucorum, but other varieties will work as well. MAKE AHEAD: Recipe can be made 1 hour in advance and gently reheated. WINE: A white Burgundy will match the richness of the creamy sauce in this dish. Such as a Meursault 2002 Chartron& Trebuchet or the Meursault-Perrieres 2001 Louis Latour, both are good pairings. A nice Sauvignon Blanc with depth, such as Lucien Crochet Sancerre Cuvee Prestige 1994 is an excellent choice if using Pernod. Recipe adapted from Burgundy Classics by Chantal Leroux.

Time 45m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (7 ounce) can escargots, drained
6 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
20 mushrooms, stems removed
⅓ cup white wine
⅓ cup cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon dried tarragon
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place escargots in a small bowl, and cover with cold water; set aside for 5 minutes. This will help to remove the canned flavor they may have.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  • Drain the water from the escargots and pat dry with a paper towel. Melt butter with the garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the escargots and mushroom caps; cook and stir until the mushroom caps begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together wine, cream, flour, pepper, and tarragon in a small bowl until the flour is no longer lumpy. Pour this into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, and use a spoon to place the mushrooms upside down into the prepared baking dish. Spoon an escargot into each mushroom cap. Pour the remaining sauce over the mushroom caps and into the baking dish. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese overtop.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the Parmesan cheese has turned golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure the freshness of your escargots, purchase them live or frozen. If using frozen escargots, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Before cooking, purge the escargots to remove any impurities. Place them in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let them rest for 30 minutes, then rinse them thoroughly and pat dry.
  • Use a combination of fresh herbs to create a flavorful herbed butter. Some good options include parsley, chives, tarragon, and thyme.
  • Be careful not to overcook the escargots, as they will become tough. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are tender and opaque.
  • Serve the escargots immediately, while they are still hot. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course.
